Turn to God, Nigerians charged

Nigerians have been advised to turn to God for solutions to the various problems bedeviling the nation.

The National President, United Gospel Churches Association of Nigeria (UGCAN), Rev. (Dr) Priscilla Otuya, made the call during the national regeneration conference tagged “Nigeria! Solution Doth Come” in Lagos.

Otuya said: “If God is good enough to be consulted during elections, then he should be good enough to be consulted in the open as a nation for solution.”

She said the challenges of Nigeria are beyond the ordinary and requires extraordinary wisdom.

Otuya noted that Nigeria is groaning under rising insecurity, poverty and corruption, which are having devastating effect on Nigerians.

A civic education project was launched during the conference as part of efforts to awaken Nigerians to good governance.

A leadership Integrity award was also given to Christian leaders and professionals.

Some of the awardees include the General Overseer, World of Eternal Life and Revival Ministry, Rev Samuel Olutoye, Superintendent of the Apapa District of the Assemblies of God Church, Rev Kola Ogunbola, and Executive Secretary of National Summits Group, Mr. Tony Uranta.

Other awardees are National Secretary of Middle Belt Forum, Dr John Dara and President of Journalists for Christ (JFC) Lekan Otufodunrin.
